Re: Schools closing in Detroit
When the education of our children is compromised to the point of destruction and ruin - by the choices made by the elected leaders of our country, locally and nationally, then we truly are in very serious trouble. We've known for years that teachers, on the whole, do not receive the value, recognition, or pay that they should - as educators and mentors who play key roles in the direction our future moves in, short term and long term, by their very impact.
I don't think we've seen the worst of it (destruction and compromise) yet.
